Ebola cases rising in Uganda
A World Health Organization official in Africa says that the Ebola outbreak in Uganda is increasing rapidly. Ugandan health officials have confirmed 75 cases of Ebola since September 20, including 28 deaths, 19 under treatment. The official numbers do not include those who live about 150 km west of Kampala. This farming community had died before the outbreak was confirmed.
It is believed that this death was also caused by Ebola. There is no proven vaccine for the Sudanese variant of Ebola that is spreading in Uganda. According to the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Ugandan authorities had confirmed the infection in more than 1,800 people who had come in contact with a person infected with the Ebola virus as of Thursday. Out of these 747 patients under treatment have completed 21 days period.
